Nobody was killed by the Nazis for simply being a Catholic. There were, however, many killed who happened to be Catholic. The contrast with the Jews and gypsies, who were killed for what they were as opposed to what they did, is striking.

This is from my textbook: 3,146,000 million Polish Catholics and 2600 Polish priests died in Auschwitz.

Considering only about 1.3 million people in total died at Auschwitz, it is unlikely to be true.

There were about 100000 to 200000 gentiles killed in Auschwitz, you would not go too far wrong if you assumed that close to half were Roman Catholics.
